Editor's note: This story has been updated to clarify that the change will affect mostly the shorter building, not the high-rise, as a city official initially said.

Amazon.com is changing the design on two buildings it has proposed for downtown Seattle's Denny Triangle neighborhood.

The Downtown Design Review Board is tentatively scheduled to review the new design on May 21, according to the city of Seattle's website.

City Department of Planning and Development spokesman Bryan Stevens said Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) changed its “design philosophy for the base of the high rise … from a rectilinear approach to something more distinctive and identifiable.”

City Planner Lisa Rutzick said the redesign is expected to be primarily of the shorter structure at 2101 Seventh Ave.

The design review packet, which will have images of the new design, has not yet been posted on the city’s website. Amazon is expected to submit their application on April 25, "so we should have more information then," Rutzick said.

The buildings at 2101 Seventh Ave., are in the second of three phases of the 3.3 million-square-foot project.
